The Plough, Whitby

I actually got kicked out of here for putting money in the pool table after they'd rung the bell for last orders at 10:45pm on a Saturday night. The landlady is the rudest, most surly individual it's been my misfortune to come across in a long time. There were around twenty people rattling around here all night and no wonder it's empty when you get service like that. I felt acutely sorry for the barman who was the complete opposite of his employer.

The Hare and Hounds, High Hawsker

My local. 75 seconds to walk there, sometimes considerably longer to walk back. Fabulous beer ( Theakstons Old P, Wainwrights), the warmest of welcomes and food to die for. There's always plenty of activity going on such as quizzes, food nights, etc. Great pub.

The Cross Keys Inn, Denholm

Fantastic pub and inn. Really friendly landlord and landlady. Two guest beers on the pumps and draught flow John Smiths and Tetleys. It also has a bar with Sky, pool and a jukebox which ticks my boxes. There's a lounge which is much more sedate and a restaurant which does superb food. B & B is available with an amazing Scottish breakfast.
